She got canned or resigned. She might get uncanned or unresign.

This :”If they want to reverse their denunciation of Ms. Sherrod, that’s fine with me. As long as they simultaneously denounce the entire NAACP audience who cheered the racist elements of her speech BEFORE she got to the “reconciliation” part.”
Agree
so she was a racist 24 years ago and admitted in march 2010 that front of a NAACP audience that 24 years she didn’t do all she could to help a white farmer but the NAACP didn’t condemn her when she said it and ONLY did once the vud came out
but now the NAACP might backtrack??

Oh no they aren’t racists at all

BTW the most disturbing part in the crowd reaction in March when she said it.

The NAACP has taken down the press release condemning Shirley Sherrod posted to FR late last night.

Was Sherrod allowed to fully tell her side of the story before being axed?

Asked what?

Sherrod IS Obama.

He can't get out of this one, no matter how this ends up. Things are piling up, and sooner or later, he's going to lose it all.

Where did you see this info about more video? Can’t find it on his site. I don’t doubt for a second he has more.

"She’s blaming white racist tea party members for taking her remarks out of context."

If true, then she should have fought this and made the administration fire her. By resigning, she basically admits to it being true. I would like to see the whole video because I don't think that Breitbart would smear anyone. He has a good record so far.

See, here is how it works: once the NAALCP clears the lady and says she is innocent, then the “mainstream” media will pick up on it. And it will be front page news how a black woman was attacked, even by her own President. But she will forgive him, because those mean Tea Party people scared him into overreacting....

"So that Shiley can file another frivolous race discrimination lawsuit and settle it with Eric Holder for another $13 mil.

Have any links to what really happened in this case?

She bragged to an audience of black people that she didn’t help a white person as much as she could have because of his race. Try to tell me how that’s not racist.

Oh, and the NAACP never does that to Tea Party members, does it?

true, all the “knowing chuckles” from the audience were what I found particularly disgusting in the video clip — she knew she was on her way to telling the tale as one of “helping the have nots” but to her audience in the moment, they heard her saying she did not want to help the white farmer and they (all the ones audible on the tape) thought that was just groovy and most entertaining!

I hope NAALCP does walk it back....they'll look even worse. Obama won't, though...he isn't that stupid.

Something is up.

Ms. Sherrod was scheduled to be on with Megyn Kelly at 1:30, and abruptly canceled.

I'd bet quite a few people were up all night trying to figure out the best way to respond (cover up) to this Racist display.

Bingo, we have a winner!

Even if she was taken out of context while telling a story from 20 years ago, the reaction of the NAACP crowd is obvious. They were thrilled to hear about a white man not getting the support he should have gotten.

There are more tapes coming...but plenty of time to stock in popcorn and margaritas before the REAL show starts.
